Back in May I started a thought experiment to see how good a team could be assembled beginning with the 1981 Cubs and using future knowledge of player performance. I called this team the Daydream Cubs. I set myself a few reasonable ground rules (the most important being no trades and no players drafted in the first round) and from May until September I concluded each of my posts with a bonus feature documenting the draft and roster of the Daydream Cubs year-by-year. I got as far as 1997.
For a variety of reasons, I then got sidetracked and stopped adding the bonus feature.
